So frustrating
Have you ever been feeling okay and then suddenly an old intrusive thought comes back but worse and you can’t seem to get past it as easily?

I have this 😞 sometimes with certain themes/triggers I’ll be fine and I can think to myself “why was I worrying so much about that that’s so silly” and it will be in the back of my mind, but say I see a post/situation with the theme/trigger, it will light a fire and appear serious/ something I need to “solve” again and my ocd goes crazy over it again right after thinking that the theme was silly previously

OCD does that a ton. I’m slowly getting over a lot of intrusive thoughts, but they will creep up every so often.

Going through this now. ROCD is in the house here, and after struggling for a while wish intrusive thoughts about leaving my partner for no reason, we went on vacation and everything was good, I was over the moon and even cried of happiness. Cut to some days later, I’m in my bedroom and the thought of him having spoken to other girls when we met (we met on Tinder and made things serious after two months) makes me sick and OCD flares up again and again and again. Rationally, I know it’s dumb to see this as a problem (I was literally doing that too, that’s the premise of Tinder), and YET of course OCD latched onto it.

It’s almost like a mind game!!! You tell yourself you feel better and then out of the blue!

Intrusive thoughts 24/7
Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?

Question
So I had a panic attack a while ago to “kill mom” and I forgot about the thought until a few days later. When it came back I was mentally drained and it lasted for 2 months or more. It eventually went away but it is back. I get other intrusive thoughts but they go away after a hour or so. Why am I stressing over “kill mom” so much. I just get irritated that it won’t go away. I’m beginning to think it’s a different mental illness maybe just anxiety? I’m not sure to be honest. It just appears and sits there and I feel like I’m doomed and a pyscho and worry that I’ll never forget the thought.

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
